It feels like in the beginning, the labs weren't quite as distinct, but Claude and Anthropic are becoming much more distinct from chat GPT and the way that they interact with humans.

Cool.

And the fact that Vercel is publishing them, are we in a caveat emptor buyer, free buyer, do your due diligence?

Or is there some assumption that they have done some vetting to... I don't know yet, but I, you know...

So we have a question from Greg.

Skills, does that equal custom GPTs?

And that actually is a really great question because we have people with all different levels of experience.

Sort of yes and sort of no is my answer for that.

Because custom GPTs are basically a wrapper around a single prompt, right?

And then you can...

you can chain them, you can do actions sort of from them, you can add connectors, those kinds of things.

But skills are more than just one set of instructions.

Skills can also have scripts built into them, right?

So a skill can execute a Python script that you've created to do a particular thing.

It's much more like

like a package that you bring in at specific times for specific functions, right?

So like the planning skill has some specific instructions about doing the planning with

cloud either through co-work or through cloud code um and that uh and that then can launch sub-agents can uh like there's a sub-agent that can do research there's a sub-agent that can go check um you know the the files on the hard drive are there any answers to the things that we're planning about uh and custom gpts can't do that neither can gems

I think it's also because of how both were birthed or created, right?

We've said several times the history of cloud code is that the engineer designed something to make his engineering easier for himself, right?
